Paperless accommodation tracking for small HR teams
Paperless accommodation tracking is not just scanning forms into a folder. For a small HR team, the real goal is to keep the request, functional limitation discussion, options considered, files, tasks, and follow-up dates connected in one readable case history.
Why the interactive process breaks down in scattered tools
The ADA accommodation workflow usually starts informally: an employee mentions a restriction, a manager forwards a note, or HR receives a medical clarification request. If those details live across email, chat, shared drives, and calendar reminders, the process may look incomplete later even when HR acted in good faith.
The request date is unclear.
Medical details are stored in a general personnel folder.
